Review of Universal Replayer

Universal Replayer is essential software for any online poker player who wants to improve their game. It is a free poker tool which enables you to 'replay' the games you've played in a graphical format. This makes it much easier to review your game rather than trawling through the text files that your poker client produces.

Why you need Universal Replayer

If you want to improve your poker game, you need to be able to evaluate the hands you've played, in order that you can spot 'leaks'. Universal Replayer allows you (and your poker coach) to do this, by taking hand history files and converting them into a tool which is kind of like watching a dvd or video of the game. This means you can take the time to critique your game and your poker coach can explain areas of improvement.

Important

You will need to ensure that whatever poker client you're using is set to save hand histories to your hard drive. This varies poker room to poker room but will usally be found somewhere in the settings/options area and is often something that isn't selected as a default.
